Here is an action you can take to help your Republican friends who

may be wavering. I don't recommend sharing it with born-agains or neo-con supporters. Just the old stock Republicans. Only those who are disciplined enough to read it all the way through with an understanding of who the author is or isn't.

I'll just call it 'explaining Bush' - a scary ride.

Here is a paragraph from the article, picked by lottery:

"The disdainful smirks and grimaces that many viewers were surprised to see in the first presidential debate are familiar expressions to those in the administration or in Congress who have simply asked the president to explain his positions. Since 9/11, those requests have grown scarce; Bush's intolerance of doubters has, if anything, increased, and few dare to question him now. A writ of infallibility -- a premise beneath the powerful Bushian certainty that has, in many ways, moved mountains -- is not just for public consumption: it has guided the inner life of the White House. As Whitman told me on the day in May 2003 that she announced her resignation as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency: ''In meetings, I'd ask if there were any facts to support our case. And for that, I was accused of disloyalty!'' (Whitman, whose faith in Bush has since been renewed, denies making these remarks and is now a leader of the president's re-election effort in New Jersey.)"

How can you expect if you don't believe in your counselors when they don't say something that confirms his faith?

By inference: It appears that neo-cons who are pulling one over on us are also pulling one over on him - they appears to play his little faith reliance and logic. fact, and reason deficiency game to perfection.

I always thought that he was a nothing, only a marionette. Now I know he is something - a gut and instict danger to the world.

Be selective with whom you share it and it should provide a little push away.
